How to pair Mercedes Bluetooth phone adaptor to Comand Radio system

For those of you who have the Mercedes Bluetooth phone adaptor that replaces the old portal mobile phone in your arm rest, then this video is to help you pair it to your mobile cell phone through the Comand Radio System.
There are two codes that I used, first you need to pair to the Mercedes Comand Radio using *1234. Then you will pair to the bluetooth adaptor using code *62872. These codes worked for me setup and look to be generic, so see if they work for you ! hope they do :)
The video I created on adding a Bluetooth music streaming adaptor called Mr12V can be found here:

I’ve had a Mercedes cl500 c216 from 2007 for over 2 years and been unable to pair my iPhone. Never found an effective set of instructions nor after watching maybe 80 videos on how to do it. None gave the complete procedure until yours. I was beginning to think it was faulty so many many thanks for your trouble.

[@GrooveOn]

So glad it worked for you!!

[@ericSilvagni-f6k]

Thanks very informative.

Have spent forever trying to connect my 2005 R230 to my phone. This was great and the only one I found that demystified the system.

[@GrooveOn]

so glad you got it connected , it works well huh !

Hi there! Thank you for explaining this.. I’ve been trying to research as my phone hasn’t been discovering the car but my car can discover my phone and this is the closest I’ve come to resolve the issue.. what should I do in case the phone that comes with is an old Nokia model?

[@SunilPatel-lu3pd]

What’s the part number please Sir? Thankyou

Just saw this video have 2006 cl500 will give it a go thanks.

[@GrooveOn]

let me know

[@indiesahans4916]

Mine is a w209 2009. I don’t have the setting for Bluetooth. Just fitted the adapter and seems to work. Has not loaded the contacts yet. Says loading?? How long does it take for the phone contacts to load up?

[@GrooveOn]

it should be pretty quick like a minute.

[@indiesahans4916]

In that case it’s not downloading. The phone works ok if I dial from the phone. But does not download the contacts😢

[@raveenhathagoda6944]

Can you play music through this way???

[@GrooveOn]

no my friend, you need an adaptor that uses the fibre optic, I use Mr12V adaptor.

[@nrgeire3353]

Me again !!!! The ridiculous thing is that the required code is not provided on the back of the bt adapter. Typical I think. However after trying the numbers that are on the back your number worked. Seems a bit stupid to me but who cares - I now have a phone. Car also has a tv interface but can’t get anything but channel 26. Just shows interference.

[@GrooveOn]

Glad you got your phone connected, the TV may not work if it's analogue receiver, the UK switched to digital signals. Appreciate any super thanks 🙏🏼

[@nrgeire3353]

@@GrooveOn never thought of that!! Ta.

[@everydayspecialwithsilke7627]

Can I hear Music with that?

[@GrooveOn]

Unfortunately not, you'll need an adapter like Mr12V that uses canbus fibre optic

Hello, i have a w211, 2007 year , caravan version, when i chose or click Bluetooth it starts to look for Bluetooth devices but doesn't find any device nearbly, it just searching and searching, i try with many telephone android ar iphone but nothing find, what could be a problem, are there same other module for fix or replace

[@GrooveOn]

Have you tried using your phone to pair to car first? Search on phone for your car Bluetooth and see what shows

[@ehabalazab1461]

Finally It is connected, many thanks for your efforts ❤❤❤

[@nixprivate3471]

I just unplugged the built in Mercedes handset where other 2003 models have a cradle. Is there a Mercedes Bluetooth thing that fits into the slot where the phone came out ? Unsure how to send a photo here. Thanks again for all the info !!

[@GrooveOn]

The cradle that I show in my video originally had a phone, the Bluetooth module was a later improvement

[@penhenge]

Thank you couldn't have paired my phone without you

[@GrooveOn]

No worries, thanks if you subscribed!

@@GrooveOn you mentioned about playing music via carkit 🎵 I haven't got a aux plug in my car it Can you send me the link I can't find it Thanks

[@ttvein]

Hi Steve, Congratulations for what you are doing, I follow you with great interest!! Please, I also have a question: Once I have connected the iPhone to this module, can I also play music from the iphone? Or only to be able to call and be called from the iphone? Thank you for your support in advance.

[@GrooveOn]

Hi there, the Bluetooth Mercedes module is only capable of phone calls but works great, it does not have A2DP Bluetooth which is for music streaming. However there are options to get 3rd modules to allow this. My other vids explain 👍

[@jeffstewart7045]

Hi, and thank you for your excellent videos which 'do as it says on the tin" and are extremely helpful. In my recently purchased 2008 SL 350 (2006-2008 facelift model), I was able to connect my iPhone via the Bluetooth gizmo in the box which my phone recognised, unfortunately, I had no password at hand, but you came up trumps and it connected immediately after I added the password you passed on via your video. I did not use the first part of the process you have highlighted as my COMAND system did not show a 'Bluetooth' tab, however after linking via the gizmo in the armrest, I now have everything highlighted in your video, eg. call and receive calls capability, the speakerphone is operational, and my address book as been added to the COMAND system interface. Thanks!

[@GrooveOn]

Reading that makes it all worth while doing the channel! Thanks if you subscribed

[@stephenauty2402]

I don’t get BT option when I press SERV so I just get No Phone Phone is connected to BT device but not to COMAND

[@GrooveOn]

Try discounting phone and clearing device, you need to connect to comand first then module

[@batguy9287]

I tried this, still doesn’t give the Bluetooth option

[@FrederickEsiri]

Hi GrooveOn - how can I get the Mercedes Bluetooth phone adaptor, that will work with my 2004 SL 500, so I can connect my phone via bluetooth. Please help or send me a link to purchase.

They are on eBay mate www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176218480974?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Q8Rv3XVqQ6O&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=hM34COOAS2q&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@GPotts-j9b]

Hi. 2007sl owner just bought recently. I’m failing at step 1. Pressing Serv does not bring up Bluetooth as an option? Any ideas

[@GrooveOn]

Do you have the Bluetooth module in your arm rest? If so check power light.

[@GPotts-j9b]

@@GrooveOn hi. I’ve actually managed to resolve it by turning on the Bluetooth adapter as the first step !

[@OatesSteve]

Love the front spoiler/splitter where did you purchase that? Great videos, Very helpful thank you so much.

[@GrooveOn]

I got it from ebay I think, I had to slightly tweak the three middle mounting points, by adding rubber bushes to take up the gap, they also help with flexing if there are speed bumps. I added a rubber trim around the front too. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223910431910?_ul=UK&gclid=Cj0KCQjwio6XBhCMARIsAC0u9aEC_kYg0K_FkB56XqIxWuuUuux_dMZFHf2bTOnuVm0i-5tswTm_TRUaAnIrEALw_wcB

Hi What is that device called in the armrest as there is not one in my 2006 350sl ? I would like to have my phone paired via Bluetooth. Thanks Nigel

[@GrooveOn]

If you type in your car model, Mercedes Bluetooth phone module into eBay, it should bring up what you need. Check on the forums for the correct model number

Again as always a prompt response and useful information. Many thanks

I don't have any slot to even input a Bluetooth device what can I do?

[@GrooveOn]

Hi what car do you have? If you don't have the old phone connection, then you won't be able to use the Bluetooth adapter. However you can use a Bluetooth module called LA Power or Mr 12V that come with hands free calling via a mic. The most basic method is a cheap Bluetooth FM transmitter too
